IMPROVEM ENT IN PEANUT-ROASTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 212,146. dated February 11, 1879; application filed December 19, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS LEE, of Oincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement inPeanut-Roasters, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings,in which- Figure l is a front elevation, and Fig. 2 a sectional view, of the warming-chamber.

The object of my invention is to improve the manufacture of peanut-masters.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the body of the apparatus, 0 the roaster, B the water-chamber, and D the receptacle for keeping the nuts warm after being roasted.

The invention relates particularly to the method of manufacturing the chamber B, receptacle D, and also the addition thereto of the lamp H.

In Fig. 2 a sectional view of the chamber B is shown, having an annular enlargement or bead, E. The design of this enlargement .is twofold: first, to provide a larger space for steam within the chamber, whereby more water can be used in it at one time; and, second, to permit this enlargement to be used as a cap for the top edge of the body A.

It will also be seen that a natural means for an outlet can be made in this enlargement for the steam-whistle I and an inlet for supplying the chamber with water.

I also further provide for increasing the water-space K by sloping the sides of the receptacle D, as shown.

The spire G, rising from the top of the receptacle D, is placed slightly at one side of the centralrpoint of the same, and a lid, F, is hinged at f, which covers one-half of the top of the said receptacle, thus rendering more ready admittance to the interior.

On the spire surmounting the apparatus I have added a receptacle for a light, H, inclosed by colored glass h, upon which is printed or cut the word Peanuts.

I disclaim the general arrangement of the roaster O and chamber D, nor do I claim as my invention any part of the body of the apparatus A; but

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In an apparatus for roasting peanuts, the chamber B, having an annular enlargement or bead, E, the inner receptacle, D, having sloping sides, the lid F, as shown, the whole being surmounted by a receptacle, H, for a light, substantially as shown.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of December, A. D. 1878, in the presence of witnesses.
